  How do you move your player around when your in a deep bunker and close to the front of the bunker and have no shot at getting it.  I wanted to move my player to play a safe shot but couldn't find the solution in moving my player around for the shot.

   

  Any syggestions

  You have to hit side ways or backwards. Just use overhead aim and hit out.

  Basically you don't move your avatar at all. When you take a shot, you click and drag the aim marker, the arrowhead with the distance inside it. When you do this normally, your avatar will not appear to change stance, but a radical move will turn the avatar about face 180 degrees.

  However, the position of the avatar has no bearing other than cosmetically speaking, so the aim marker is what you need to concentrate on. When you are next faced with this shot, and you believe the ball will not clear the bunker face, you need to click and drag the aim marker until the blue line you see displayed while you're holding the aim marker, moves to a suitable angle. This will be where the ball will now travel when you take your shot. Often you only need move it a little to one side or the other, but on occassion you might find that a rearward shot is the only one suitable.

  Good luck.

  If it bothers you too much, you can go into the game settings and make it to where the avatar changes direction based on your target position.

  Baggie, my failing is my surprise and heretoward I will redress emphatically with extreme emphasis on the nihilarian aspect.

  Aim, pray, strike. Repeat.

  It is a little disorienting that you can't orient the view to take in the hoped- and prayed-for landing zone.
